Meet Madhavi Latha, the IISC professor who spent 17 years building world’s tallest Chenab railway bridge

The Chenab railway bridge is a construction marvel. Built at a height of 359m over the Chenab River, it is the tallest railway bridge arch in the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Jammu and Kashmir and inaugurated the Chenab Bridge by waving the flag and later hailed that these projects are ‘transformative’. Alongside the Chenab bridge, the PM had also inaugurated the Anji bridge, while laying foundations to projects worth Rs 46,000 crore.
